I know it has been FOREVER since my last update. I have had several setbacks since November 2019 on this tree but it finally looks as though it could actually make it!

I do plan on keeping you updated on the seedlings progress from now until it either perishes or flourishes into a fruit-producing tree.

Your updates always give me a sense of meaning in life (struggling with suicidal thoughts). and I know it’s weird to say that. But just watching you grow all these beautiful trees over the years and also you getting older too. there is something about that just make me appreciate life more. Thank you so much for giving your time to make these videos :)

Thanks Rob! First gardening video I’ve caught. I would have cried if I’d broken 3ft off that tree, but you didn’t give up👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Glad you’re back 🙂 Looking forward to your other updates.

I have 2 mangos i grew from seeds! And a lemon tree!

mangoes here in africa grow like no mans business. will continue to love what you do.thanks boss

Updates!! 😀 Great video Rob 👍👍

God bless, thank you for your efforts. Wow I was just looking for a new episode yesterday

I have an avocado tree I grew from seed that's 46 months old now and your mango story sounds like mine with my avocado. It's finally starting to have multiple strong growing branches after fighting some sort of fungus every year and coming out on top this past fall. Hopefully we both end up with fruit eventually!

Worked with you for years before leaving to pursue botany and had no idea you were into plants... I would have talked your ear off lol. You're a cool guy Rob👍

Yeah, most of 2020 and some of 2021 I didn't see me ever doing a video on it. I actually started a few more in 2021 as backup, but they died after sprouting their 2nd leaves. Mango has been tough for me. Hoping that despite all the issues it actually makes strides in 2022.

I like your patience in saving and keeping the mango plant... alive and not give up! First, the plant is tropical and itself has a hard time to adjust to unfamiliar environments. If we give it the time to survive in unknown surroundings, I believe it will give us a lot of joy to watch and discover...!

the first video of this series is the first video of yours that i watched. subbed right after that. i am truly amazed at the amount of effort that you put into this plant. Thank you!

This is awesome! Thank you so much for staying resilient just like the mango tree when it came to the process. I’ve been following and watching this series of yours and hope to keep doing so. In your videos you mentioned being in North Texas. I am actually living in South Texas and am wondering if I should give this a shot. I would be a first timer and your content has inspired me to really give this a go!

That Mango plant is a fighter.

Great video, you are my favorite gardening youtuber

I think mango from seeds are just finicky like that, I started one ten months ago that was doing awesome. I brought it inside for a week and it lost all its leaves, then later when I repotted it lost all its leaves, then it had a bunch of growth so I pruned and it lost all its leaves. But having said that it is by far my favorite plant, it’s like a child to me now

Awesome video!! I'm glad to see your mango tree live through the rough times n, such. My mango tree didn't make it.. it died on me two weeks ago..the avocado trees are growing shoots and showing great signs they're healthy!! Thanks again, Ceddimoe01 from California

We missed you. 😢

I am currently growing a mango tree from my sister's mango tree, its a couple months old and its larger then my half a year old strawberry bush

What if you tried planting it in an air-pruning pot to help the soil remain more even with watering and drying? It may also promote a better root system to support the top growth. And I would add IV Organics to the potting mix to help the roots be healthier. That should help the mango feel better and handle changes better!

I love your mango series! I’m currently growing a mango by following your videos and they’re about 20 days old and sprouting! I have a question, my mango tree is in my room and doesn’t get much direct sunlight from my window since it faces Northwest, I don’t have any plant lights, will he (I’ve named him Bob) be okay? Or should I move him to a sunnier spot? ❤️

Wow luv the mango tree not looking it best but it survied a lot

Hi Rob, I have a mango seedling which is doing well here on the Costa Blanca in Spain - grown from a delicious Peruvian mango I bought at a local market! My question is regarding the fertilizer - what do you recommend? Any help gratefully received!

Can you do another update

44 month's 😆 Like a mom talking about a child.

Have you checked the pH of the soil. Mangoes require a more acidic soil to be able to uptake nutrients. You may need to add a soil acidifier.

Can you build or buy an Amazon greenhouse for your backyard for the mango tree

Novice gardener here so asking, if I ever want fruit should I start a second tree for them to pollinate each other or will 1 produce fruit on its own?

hi what mango variety is this?

Any new updates?

Rob, are the mangoes supposed to be in direct sunlight or indirect? I have 2 that I planted from seed back in June 2020 and they’ve only grown about 12-14 inches. The 12 inch one has grown sideways instead of straight up, and it’s started to lose a lot of its big leaves recently. I don’t know why. I had brought it in during our “winter” here in Florida but now it’s somewhat warm. The other one has a few bad leaves, brown or spotted and is sprouting new roots on the side

@RobBackyardGardenerr

Mango trees require full sun, meaning at least eight hours of direct sunlight on most days. Their flower and fruit production will suffer if they don't get enough light. That being said, young trees are mmore vulnerable and may require some indirect sunlight until they mature a bit.

New to your channel, what growing zone are you in?

Texas would be tough on many Plants, Freezing to Hotter than Hell, many wouldn't cope. Growing your own food makes sense with Food Shortages on the Horizon. In the next Vid, would love to see the Money Tree.

LOL - likely not. I stink at it!

I just started this project a month ago with the numerous mango seeds I ate from a box in a span of 2 weeks. There were 14 in a box. Right now, I'm on the final stage (5 more days) of transplanting the last 5 germinated seeds on a 20 gal tub. There are roots, but no leaves on any of them. Surprisingly, all 14 seeds germinated. Some slow, others at regular pace. Those that have been transplanted have shown no progress of growth but it's only been 7 days. I live out in the west coast. It's warm this week but very disappointed with the weather a month earlier due it being in the mid to lower 60s F. Sunny but cold wind. Regarding your mango tree, my understanding with plants is they don't like to be moved. So I would buy some cheap plastic or wooden sticks from home depot and build a quick, small scaffold like structure and lay a plastic transparent or translucent sheet over it for the winter to shield it from the snow while letting the light in. Nothing fancy, just enough to get through the season and easy enough to remove for the rest of the season.

@@alfrancis8 About 95% of them started growing to about 6 inches. Some took two weeks. Others 1 to 2 months oddly. Unfortunately, an unexpected fog started happening and it lasted for 2 months that lead to disease spreading to all the mango plants and killed most of them. The rest that survived didn't make the wet and cold winter. I'm willing to try again since I enjoy these plants. If you live in a warmer area where there's hardly fog, go for it. I recommend you try at least five so you can pick the best one to focus on. Good luck.
